Haiku Yellow is a breathtaking collection of stunning images captured and written in haiku verse from the contemporary English poet P.J. Reed.
This collection explores the excitement and drama as the yellow of springtime bursts through the bleakness of winter throughout the Devon countryside. The world in springtime is a joyful place full of possibilities and hope.
This study has resulted in a series of outstanding word pictures, thoughts and emotions written in haiku by P.J. Reed.
Haiku Ice is a thought-provoking collection of imaginative, visually stunning haiku from the contemporary English poet P.J. Reed. This is the fourth book in her collection of seasonal haiku books.
Haiku Ice explores the magical transformations, discoveries, and interactions with nature as winter tightens her grip over the sleeping landscape.
The world in winter is an enchanted place. P.J. Reed has studied the changes of winter and its effects on the countryside, wildlife, and people.
Haiku Gold is the third part in my series of haiku collections exploring the four different seasons.
Each collection explores how the different seasons affect the woods, fields, hedgerows, plants, and animals which inhabit the beautiful Devonian countryside.
Above all, Haiku Gold is a celebration of autumn.
Haiku Nation by P.J. Reed is a breathtaking collection of powerful modern haiku which challenges the reader to seek out and see the world afresh.
The poems in Haiku Nation offer an intoxicating insight into the ethereal world of haiku. The collection is divided into sections comprising: the Seasons, Mountains, Wanderings and Waterfalling. The Seasons reflect a deep investigation into the ways of nature and her poetry makes you look at nature with an altered perspective.
Within the pages of P.J. Reed’s gorgeous collection, Haiku Summer, you will find a magical selection of haiku which will transport you to the halcyon days of summer in the northern hemisphere.
This beautiful book of poetry will give you a happy memory of summer for every day of your life.
Pandemica is a collection of vibrant, emotive poems written to chronicle and celebrate the lives of ordinary people living through the Covid-19 pandemic.
Often it is the little things that see people through such times which are then forgotten. It is a memory of the nation-wide Thursday night clap for the NHS on your doorstep and of children at home, their schools closed indefinitely, painting rainbows. Their parents taping them to front windows to bring a message of hope and thanks to the key workers who continued to work throughout the pandemic.
Pandemica records the triumphs and ebullience of the human spirit in times of adversity.

Review
'The Haiku style of poetry within this volume is truly mesmerising. I opened the first page not knowing what to expect and my experience of reading this collection can only be described as bringing an alien in from the cold. The collection has personally inspired me to explore this sub genre of poetry.
Although the poems are short as the Haiku style usually is P.J. Reed ignites the imagination with the rich visual imagery contained within her verse and the way in which the words knock together creating sparks.' by Daniel Robertson
Review
'
Simple, magical, real, imaginative, understandable. Also brilliant and seen through the same eyes which the reader jointly shares. P.J. Reed's anthology, Haiku Nation, is a book of haiku poems. One of the simplest forms of poetry but hardest styles to write.
The work here covers nature, emotions and people. There are many memorable pieces in this volume's six themes (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wanderings and Waterfalling.)
A contemporary of Vannessa Daou.' by Nick Armbrister
Review
'St Andrew's Day, the last day of Autumn, an appropriate day to commend HAIKU GOLD, a captivating collection of seasonal Haiku that give a real flavour of recent days whether thinking about going out, being out walking, or back home relaxing and remembering the scenes experienced.
The backstory of Haiku and glossary all add to the value of the volume.' by Chip
